Randall County 4H wins State Livestock Quiz Bowl title
The Randall County 4-H Livestock Quiz Bowl team is on its way to Louisville, Ky., to compete at the national level. It's becoming a tradition now for Randall County 4-H students. Over the life of Randall County's Livestock Quiz Bowl program, the teams have achieved the following: two national championships at Louisville and a championship and a reserve championship at Denver, two state championships and five reserve state championships. A team qualified for nationals in 2020, but the contest was cancelled due to COVID. The 2024 team is composed of Mason Wolf, Stella Davis, Keelyn Meador and Kaylee Dunn. Wolf was the only one of the four who had any Quiz Bowl experience. The other three had never seen a competition before their final contest.
"Lead with the heart ... the rest will follow"
Are you a leader worth following? When most people think of leaders, they picture men and women of high authority. They see individuals with big job titles and huge paychecks. But … wait a minute … in every way possible, we’re all natural-born leaders. We each have different talents and qualities that make a contribution to bettering our workplaces, our homes and our inner circles. We just have to see ourselves as leaders and put or fears aside to be the person Jesus created us to be. We have to break out of our comfort zones … let others see the real people that we are … and fight for what we believe in.
WT's Hill Chapel reopens with dedication ceremony
Midway through their wedding ceremony in the J.A. Hill Chapel, a young man barged through the chapel doors carrying a large, loud 'boom' box. "Dad said, 'Get that thing out of here!' It didn't mess us up; we went right on with it," Darla Deckard said of the wedding ceremony that united her and Lance Deckard nearly 45 years ago on September 8, 1979. The Deckards, as well as other couples who were married in the campus chapel, were among 100-150 guests that attended the dedication ceremony Saturday to reopen the J.A. Hill Chapel. High Plains Christian Ministries Foundation announced in April 2022 a $1.5 million gift for the renovation. Approximately $1.1 million was used for the renovation and the remaining $400,000 will establish an endowment for ongoing maintenance.
West Plains duo attends Texas Boys State conference in Austin
West Plains High School seniors Brady Bobo and Bradley Lancaster haven't taken a government class, but the two students should ace the class after spending a week immersed in the American Legion Texas Boys State Conference June 9-14 in Austin. Bobo and Lancaster learned how the democratic system of government works as they participated in mock elections with more than 1,100 boys from across the state on the University of Texas campus. "I ran for a lot (of offices), and I lost a lot," Lancaster said. Lancaster tried for county delegate, senator, campaign commissioner and won county constable. His political party was the fictional Federalists.
'Locked and Loaded'
When it comes to the game of football, nobody studies film more than West Plains starting quarterback Reid Macon. The 6-foot junior signal caller enters his third varsity season with big goals and plenty of offensive weapons at his disposal. "Reid (Macon) is a definite leader on our team," West Plains head football coach Adam Cummings said. "Being his third season at quarterback there are obviously expectations, but no one has to explain that to him. He puts more pressure on himself than anyone else. That's why he is a great leader." Cummings ... three years ago ... took over the West Plains High School football program after a heralded career at Sundown. His first item of work when he got to West Plains was establish an identity and find a starting quarterback.
